Lears Suffering King Lear One
489 words
King Lear is a perfect demonstration of the great
consequences one mans actions can cause. While
there are certainly religious Christian elements
to the story, the story is not one of morality or
hope. King Lear is a lesson, making an example of
what can come of a single, foolish, egotistical
action. King Lears action is the surrendering of
his throne to his daughters. The element of
Christianity enters here, because King is a
God-appointed position, not to be given up. Lear,
however, decides to...

Almighty Roar Hamlets Father Scene
512 words
I believe Frances Zefferilli's version of
Shakespeare's Hamlet, made in 1990, is one of the
best versions of the play to be put onto screen.
The film, starring Mel Gibson as Hamlet, and Glen
Close as Queen Gertrude, takes a different look to
the play. Zefferilli explores the physiological
stability of Hamlet very well, especially in Act
3, Scene 4. The interpretation I got of that scene
in the text was different to the one given in the
movie. After reading the scene, I got the idea
that Hamlet w...

... Blakes most challenging proposition, since it
cannot be reasoned with and requires a blind faith
and firm persuasion that you are the wise man and
not the fool. It is impossible to tell, other than
by being judged against common-sense, since Man by
his reasoning power can only compare & judge of
what he has already perched. But it is this type
of perception that Blake challenges. So, it can be

In the years preceding 1750 England, although a
wealthy nation still suffered from poverty and a
